For some dialects other than T-ka, the Centripetal has a basic form Aidd
with a full i, heard as such after a C, though (as for T-ka) it is reduced to Add
after a V. However, an apparent (but false) "Aidd" can also occur in dialects
where the 3MaSg object clitic has a syllabic allomorph Atti- (postconsonantal
Ati-). For example, in the R dialect, the Centripetal is Aadd after a C in
ordinary contexts but combines with 3MaSg object Att to give AttlAdd. Here
the i is part of the object clitic (and therefore also occurs in some other
combinations not involving a directional clitic).
